About a month ago, GoNintendo reported the first hint for a physical release of the Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. This morning I was browsing Base.com and I found out that pre-orders of the game are live for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch.

Ok, 50 Euros seems too much for a remaster, but Base not only is a reliable site but they use the same pre-order policy of Amazon.

I would pay 50€ for a Remastered collection (7/8/9), not for a single game. But yeah, I suppose that price may drop before the release. You can pre-order the game and pay the lowest price before launch just like Amazon.

While I wouldn't put it past Square Enix to ask 50$ for a physical edition of a remaster like this, I'd perhaps wait for an official announcement before getting too outraged. It can be the price is just a placeholder (to be somewhat safe, Base put a high price that they can lower if/when the price is announced) or they could offer some extras with the physical edition (i.e. artbook, mini-OST CD etc.) that makes the high price more reasonable.
